Sibiu, December 1989. In the chaos and panic generated by the protests of the crowd against the authorities, a unit of the militia becomes the target of a violent assault that escalates into a bloody confrontation between soldiers, militiamen, security agents, and civilians. Trying to escape the siege, Captain Viorel of the militia is captured and accused of being a terrorist.

Following a script that could have come straight from the headlines of the most sensational Greek media outlets just a few months ago (and their account of Shower Boys), Without Air takes us down the deepest corridors of a modern-day Hungarian high school. Here, a young ambitious teacher suggests that her students watch Agnieszka Holland’s film Total Eclipse, a fierce biography dealing with the passionate relationship between Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, as a means to gain a deeper understanding of the poètes maudits’ poetry. However, when one student's father stumbles upon a segment of the film, he accuses the school of promoting homosexuality, leading to a scandal. While Hungary may have transformed into one of the most conservative and regressive countries in Europe recently, this brave, thoughtful, and captivating film underlines clearly that no social environment is immune to hatred and obscurantism.
